When I recently replaced some of the instrument cluster lights, I replaced them with some Diode Dynamics Cool White bulbs. I had three left over and decided to replace the one in the glove box. Unfortunately, these bulbs almost project light straight out rather than all around. This didn't work for the glovebox as the light then shined straight into the dash.
I ended up buying another variety of LED 194 bulb on Amazon that would shine out in all directions. I received it in the mail and installed it this evening. It works perfectly and has a bit more modern color to the light.
Since I have the extra Diode Dynamics bulbs, I checked the lights on the license plate and found they are the older style bulb with the yellow appearing light. I decided to go ahead and swap them out as these Diode Dynamics bulbs will be well suited for this use. The work considerably better than what was installed.
The headlights still need to be replaced at some point. They are rather yellow in appearance. In addition, The headlights are aimed poorly more towards the ground and towards the center of the vehicle. I suspect they were not adjusted at all when the previous owner installed the new headlight lenses. That is something that I'll ultimately address at some point but it isn't urgent.
